EAE, Inc. wants to help you build a brighter future with a sustainable culture. EAE has recently embraced the principles of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) criteria and standards as developed by The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). As environmental partners, we will strive to assist in achieving high-performance structures that use less energy, consume less non-renewable resources, produce less pollution and provide a safe and comfortable environment in which to work, live, and learn.

Do you need help complying with RCRA requirements? Are you contemplating a property acquisition and need to understand the risks? Do you need to confirm underground contamination and determine the source? Do you need corrective measures? Are there wetlands or threatened and endangered species on your property or on property you might purchase? EAE has experts to get you answers you can depend on and a solid reputation among regulators to support you.

As the owner, potential owner, or lender of major commercial real estate, you need to know the remaining useful life in the buildings and facilities on your site. Site observations and evaluation of many building elements and systems provide you with the facts necessary for deciding between spending on maintenance, spending on demolition and reconstruction, or the amount of investment.

Asbestos and Hazardous Materials Surveys

EAE has three licensed asbestos inspectors and multiple personnel experienced in hazardous materials surveys. Two of our inspectors have provided Resident Project Representative services at a former pre-Subtitle D landfill to evaluate identification of asbestos and potentially hazardous materials during excavation, in accordance with State of Missouri requirements.

Rob Bens, one of our principals with more than 32 years of asbestos experience, manages our asbestos survey practice. Mr. Bens has performed numerous asbestos surveys/sampling and has written Asbestos Operations & Maintenance Plans for a variety of public and private clients. Large asbestos survey and sampling projects managed by Mr. Bens include a statewide, cost recovery litigation asbestos survey that assessed 225 buildings encompassing a total of 15 million square feet in the State of Maryland. He has conducted similar surveys for the State of Vermont, McCord Air Force Base, Bank Midwest, Archdiocese of Detroit, the State of Pennsylvania, State of West Virginia, University of Indiana and several banks. These projects included identification of suspect asbestos-containing materials, sampling and sample management, condition assessment, quantifying materials, and recommending future management of identified asbestos-containing materials.
